Complete coverage
What It Covers
Reformer
Boutique Reformer studios and resistance-based teaching.
- Reformer repertoire with purpose
- Spring selection and load
- Programming and class design
- Cueing and communication
- Injuries, pregnancy and special populations
Studio Equipment + Clinical Pilates
Trapeze Table (Cadillac), Wunda Chair, Barrels and Spine Corrector.
- Apparatus you will teach
- Foundations: anatomy and biomechanics
- Studio equipment repertoire with purpose
- Functional strength and programming
- Injury-informed teaching
Everything in all three courses is included, so you finish able to teach Mat, Reformer and the full studio apparatus, and to adapt for injuries, pregnancy and clinical presentations. Because Body Form is physiotherapy-led, the clinical reasoning runs through every module rather than being added at the end.
Start from the beginning
No Prerequisite
You do not need a Mat or Reformer qualification first.
The standalone Studio Equipment + Clinical Pilates course requires a formal Mat or Reformer qualification. The Full Comprehensive program removes that step: you learn Mat and Reformer inside the same enrolment, then move on to the studio apparatus. It is built for new Pilates teachers, career changers and health professionals who want the complete qualification from the start.
Requirements
How You Graduate
You graduate with the Full Comprehensive Clinical Pilates Qualification (Covering Accreditation to teach across Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector and Ladder Barrel). The pathway uses exactly the same online modules and assessment standards as the individual courses. You complete every assessment from the Mat and Reformer courses, every assessment from the Studio Equipment course, and the apprentice hours for each discipline.
| Requirement | What you complete |
|---|---|
| Online theory | 17 modules, completed once and shared across Mat, Reformer and Studio Equipment |
| Mat assessments | Two written 45 to 50 minute class plans and two filmed classes. Assessment 1 needs at least 2 clients. Assessment 2 needs at least 4 clients, including a simulated third-trimester pregnancy and a simulated shoulder or back injury. |
| Reformer assessments | Two written class plans and two filmed classes. Assessment 1 needs at least 2 clients. Assessment 2 needs at least 4 clients at the same time, one suitable Reformer per client, including a simulated third-trimester pregnancy and a simulated shoulder or back injury. |
| Studio Equipment assessments | Two written class plans and two filmed classes. Assessment 1 is a semi-private rehab session using at least 3 apparatus per client. Assessment 2 is a group fitness circuit using all 4 apparatus in one class. |
| Apprentice hours | 70 hours for each of the three disciplines (10 observation, 30 self-mastery, 30 practice teaching), logged in your portal. That is 210 apprentice hours in total (70 x 3). |
| Final Theory Examination | One online exam. You get three attempts at each assessment. |
| Timeline | Fully Online has no individual assessment deadlines. Complete everything within your 8 months of access. |
